Impressive work on Gwen! I used 45#s and it was such a struggle.

Thanks, Veronica. If you can do 30 minutes of it, you're fine. Been teaching it for 20 years since the birth of Johnny G's spinning concepts but I'm down to only 2 classes now (1 for each globo). Just try it once in a while and don't feel obliged to do the whole 60 minutes. The members are liking the Tabata 90rpm...7-10 rounds....thanks to CrossFit.

Camille, it sure helps if you have a fellow crossfitter push you. Beth is strong and I was driven by her strength. Your newly found CF trainer will get your load up on that WOD. Also, snatching on 45# is a struggle for me.

Grace,

I did the Bear Complex today. I am in love.

Congrats on the kip! That's a big deal, and will make so many of the WODs a lot more fun.
